Most Popular Stun Guns-#3 of 4

click image for more details

This is a review of four of the most popular stun guns. We’ll compare and contrast them so you can tell the differences. They are slightly different styles.

Number three on the list is the Expandable Stun Baton that’s also rechargeable and is 1,000,000 volts. It has a flashlight and a 130 dB alarm so it offers three levels of protection. It is an extremely popular product to carry in your car. When it’s closed it is 12.5 inches long and at the touch of a button it extends to 21.25 inches. When it’s extended it electrifies to 1,000,000 volts. It includes a nylon holster with belt loop and has a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Many of our customers use this for dog attack defense. When it is activated the fling sparks make a very intimidating sound and sight-enough to scare an assailant or dog away.

Feedback on these posts is welcomed. Have you ever used an expandable or telescopic stun baton? They are effective against 2 and four legged dogs. Please share your experience. We want to hear your thoughts.

More Self Defense Tips For Women-Safety Tip Of The Week

This is the third in a series of tips for women for their self defense. You can read the others HERE and HERE

Unfortunately women have to go thru life wondering when they might be attacked-NOT IF-WHEN! Because women are attacked by at least a nine to one margin over men.

We are trying to increase awareness about what is a real problem: assaults of any kind on women. Here are some more self defense tips that could save their lives.

REACT QUICKLY. Fact of the matter is that an assault situation demands very quick reaction time. The old expression “he who hesitates is lost” is just about right on target. This is where practicing comes in handy. A reflex reaction vs. “gee where’s my pepper spray?” will save the day and you.

FIGHT BACK! Your life may be at stake. Don’t just sit there fight back with everything you have. And this is not a garden party FIGHT DIRTY. Gouge eyes, kick private parts, scream, whatever you have to do. Most assailants are not expecting a fight. Among other things it will get you time which is in your distinct favor.

SURPRISE. The bad guys use it all the time in their assaults on unsuspecting women. Turn the tables on them and surprise them by using a disguised self defense weapon like a pepper spray or stun gun.

SURVIVE AND ESCAPE. Your first priority is to survive followed closely by escaping.

WEAPON OF AVAILABILITY. Use whatever you can get your hands on. A pen, keys, or anything nearby that is harder than your hand.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! Find a friend and go thru scenarios that may occur. When they do happen you’ll be ready.

Carry some self defense products like stun guns and/or PEPPER SPRAYS. Their purpose is to allow you time to escape. They will give you from 5-45 minutes to escape to get help or just escape and survive.

Above all use your head a.k.a. common sense.

Here are some common sense safety tips for your holiday shopping safety.

Shop during the day and avoid night shopping if you can.

Always go shopping with a friend

Park as close to the store as possible.

Park in areas that are well lit.

If you feel the need ask for help to get to your car.

Focus on what you’re doing. Stay off your cell phone and pay attention to your surroundings.

Carry your puse underneath your arm not over your shoulder.

Have your car keys ready and out of your purse. You can use them as a weapon to if you need to.

Avoid talking to strangers on your way to your car.

Use common sense. Pay attention to that sixth sense women have.

Always keep some Self-Defense Products with you like a stun gun or a pepper spray or both-just in case.

Safety Tip Of The Week-Self-Defense Tips For Women-Part One

It is well established fact that women are the targets of violence in nine out 10 cases-everything from assaults, rapes, domestic violence. Even in home invasions, women are the preferred targets.

So it makes sense for women to be more aware of that fact so they can learn how to defend themselves a little bit better. Here are some self-defense tips for women that may end up saving their lives. But guys, you should take a look at these too and pass them along to all the women in your life.

There a lot of tips to share so we split them up into several parts. Here is part one.

Develop a plan to improve your self defense. That includes dry runs on what you will do in case of an emergency.

Walk with a sense of self-confidence. Of course back it up with some self-defense training. Having a sense of self-confidence shows through.

Use restraint and common sense. Don’t get baited into a fight. It takes two to tango. It’s easier to walk away with your head on.

Keep to well lit areas and go with a friend. Avoid dangerous parts of town like the plague.

Once you learn self-defense skills, practice them until they become second nature. They will last you a lifetime but only a few practice them.

Develop a sense of awareness. Be aware of where you are and who is around you.

Never act like an easy target. Don’t look like a victim. Someone who is walking with her head down or talking on a cell phone makes for easy pickings for the bad guys.

Never hitchhike. Walk, take a taxi, use a bus but never hitchhike.

Don’t be paranoid. Just beware and aware that there are threats around you.

Always keep some Self Defense Products with you like a stun gun or a pepper spray or both-just in case.

Self Defense Items-Practice Can Save Your Life

Police and fire departments do it. Companies do it. Schools from grade schools to high schools to colleges do it. Everybody does it. What are we talking about? We’re talking about what to do in case of emergency. Do they know something that you don’t know? Maybe! But just in case you don’t know it: here it is. Practice makes for perfect.

When it comes to your self defense it is no different. Even though self defense products are meant to be very simple to use, and they are, you need to learn how to use them and practice using them.

I always recommend that you run through a few scenarios with your friends or you can do it on your own. When the time comes to defend yourself, and chances are it will come, that you can act reflexively instead of stopping to think about what to do and how to do it. It is very important to have that reflexive reaction because the difference of a few seconds can save your life.

You don’t want to be caught in a situation where you’re confronted with an assailant and you have to think about where your pepper spray is or how to use it.

Self Defense Tactics-Develop A Self Defense Strategy

Women especially are the targets of violence. It is almost a certainty that at some point in a woman’s life she’s going to be assaulted, the victim of a robbery, a domestic violence statistic, the victim of rape or worse, maybe even murder. That is a sad statistic but it’s just a fact.

Knowing this fact and understanding that you will be a victim gives you time to develop a self defense strategy. And that time to develop self defense tactics is now.

For many different reasons a lot of people don’t believe in the deadly force of carrying a handgun. People who follow and respect the law recognize deadly force as a final choice in defending themselves.

The law and moral code allow us to respond to aggressive acts with the least amount of force necessary to get the job done. This “continuum of force” is the same thought process that law enforcement officers use. They start with the least amount of force needed to get compliance to a lawful order and escalate from there.

In their case it can be a lawful order all the way up to a handgun. For civilians the options are less limited. They may start with some self defense techniques that can be learned by attending a self-defense class like the ones that are offered in every city by police departments or community organizations.

The next option is to use a self defense product. They are nonlethal and are meant to give you time to escape a dangerous situation and get help.

Pepper spray, or defensive spray, is the most popular of all self defense products in the world. It is made with the resin of one of the hottest peppers in the world. This resin is called oleoresin capsicum or OC for short.

Pepper spray is on average, close to 90% effective. So the implication is that it doesn’t work in every case. For example, the wind can blow it off course so make sure you have that backup of self defense tactics to defend yourself.

OC spray causes swelling of the membranes in the eyes to the point where the eyes may shut. It also causes excessive tearing, coughing, choking, difficulty breathing and very intense pain. The effects are not permanent and will go away after 30 to 45 minutes. It may seem longer than that to an assailant.

Pepper Sprays are legal in all 50 states. Some states do have restrictions on the amount of OC that can be used in them, so some companies make special formulations to accommodate those restrictions.

If you choose to use pepper spray as part of your self defense strategy make sure you learn how to use it and get training which is available if you feel you need it. Then practice using it so you become proficient in its use.
